"In Pursuit of Revolutionary Love: Precarity, Power, Communities", by Joy James. In preparation for hearing her speak at next week's Socialism conference. And just because. #ThursdayBookChat #WhatI'mReading

In light of their recent death, Andrea Gibson's You Better Be Lightning. Full of marvels, as always.

I just started reading The Parable of the Sower this evening, and so far I can say I wish I read it years ago, because it's an uncomfortable sort of feeling to read it in current times. It's feeling a little too close to definite possibilities of the near future.

Winding down for the night with The Framed Women of Ardemore House, Brandy Schillace.

@bschillace.brandyschillace.com, I am really enjoying it so far!

I'm taking a different tack with my latest non-fiction pick. It's all about spies this time.

I'm on chapter 4 of The Spy and the Traitor by Ben MacIntyre.

John Le Carré said it's, "The best true spy story I have ever read," so it must be good!

It's summer so I am reading the latest by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, "The Bewitching". #ThursdayBookChat #WhatI'mReading

Current read: Eye Of The Wolf by A E Rayne. I've told myself I'm not a fantasy fan and then loved Nettle and Bone, The Once And Future Witches, The 10,000 Doors of January, and Starling House. Eye Of The Wolf does not disappoint! I can't stop listening. #BookSky #Books #whatI'mreading

The marvelous "A Continuous Struggle: The Revolutionary Life of Martin Sostre" by Garrett Felder. Not only a biography but also "a political and intellectual history of... Black revolutionary tradition" (from Robin D.G. Kelley's intro).

About halfway through Alec Karakatsanis' "Copaganda: How Police and the Media Manipulate Our News". There are elements of the writing style that get on my nerves, but it is a wealth of information & analysis that reaches beyond policing as well.

And so timely!🤬

I just finished Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret by Benjamin Stevenson, which lost by one vote as our December book club read. I read it anyway. It is everything a cosy Christmas murder mystery should be! Put this on your Christmas reading list.

Found a book I don't remember owning (it happens) while half-heartedly decluttering today. Agatha Christie, The Golden Ball and Other Stories, 1984. Includes stories from 1920s & 1930s. Sat down and started it. Picked it up and put it down several times over the day. Finished it. #WhatI'mReading

I just finished ch. 11 of The Spy and the Traitor by Ben MacIntyre, and things are heating up!

If you like a good spy story, this is it! It's as good as any spy fiction favourite, but this one is a true story.

Taking recommendations on other good spy stories!

In an effort to escape *everything* (however temporarily), I read.

Last night, I started The Witcher: The Last Wish. Finished this afternoon.

Tonight's bedtime reading: Sword of Destiny.

A BS bookish person recommended The Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler. What a read! I'm at the end of ch. 12. It's bleak. If you like reading books that will depress you about the state of the world, fictional or real, this is perfect for you. I can't put it down.

Really digging this book so far!

Saturday's reading: "How To Prepare Yourself for the Collapse of the Industrial Publishing System"

Eric Schierloh, translation by the author and Paul Holzman. Published by publiccollectors.org and available through halfletterpress.com.

My brain has been busy on this since.

"So how did this plastic planet happen? How did we shift from an environment with zero plastic in 1924 to one in which plastic pollution became so pervasive by 2024 that we are imbibing it every day?"

📚Loving this book!
